D.I.Y. - How to Install LED Dash Upgrade | Updated

[@ameliamai1908]

“whoop..shoot” was my favourite quote of the video

[@SwordInc]

Lol thank you!

[@nygf4lfe]

Mines is black ones are the biggest lights in there 🙃

[@LittleMountainLion]

Although I have a different type car, I suppose the principle is the same. Thank you for taking the time to post and share how to do this project. I want to put blue LEDs in my dash cluster lights. I don't think they have ever been changed, and some are going out, so it is a good time to replace bulbs. Thanks again.

[@SwordInc]

I’m glad I could help! Thank you for watching!

[@lechen5540]

LED also has color temperature with narrow range. This means that the gauge needles may not conduct/reflect the LED light if the color temp. range is off. Users might try different kinds of LED bulbs to find the best effect for yourself.

[@SwordInc]

That is true

[@ashleysmith5427]

I ordered exactly what you used. I’ve done LED conversion externally & internally on a couple of my cars/trucks, but never on the instrument panel. However, the T5 (small bulbs) must be getting a minute amount of residual voltage because when I start the car, several of them are staying dimly lit on my ‘97 Mustang GT. 🤷🏻‍♂️😞

[@DownRange02]

I’m not sure. I haven’t had that issue. Maybe try cleaning the contact points on the panel?

i want to do these colors for my 98 Civic LX but i’m confused by what sizes i need and how many bulbs of each i would need. do you happen to know?

[@SwordInc]

I would recommend doing a google search on the bulb size. As for how many you need, pop the gauge out and see how many are in there. You may have multiple size bulbs as well

[@brendonrutherford5118]

Correct me if I have not been listening properly but I don't recall you stating the model numbers of these replacement bulbs. There appears to be two different types of bulbs apart from the colours eg: main instrument lights & smaller warning lights, high beam, turn indicators etc, etc!! NO use me even thinking about changing these unless I know what LED bulbs to buy in the first instance!! Sadly this video has not helped me very much!!

[@SwordInc]

I’m guessing you missed reading the video description. The bulb sizes are T5 and T10

[@sierracollins7187]

Definitely one of the most helpful videos! Quick question though. For a pick up that has the green film on the back of the cluster, do you know how to take that film off so the true color shows thru? If I do white like I want it’s still just going to show up green. 😅 thank you!

[@SwordInc]

I have no idea how I didn't see your comment until now, KZbin being KZbin I suppose. If you didn't figure it out by now, you can scrape off the green film

[@raiderman28]

Great Video. Chipset led's are way better and don't melt with time. Those have metal pins, which are garbage. They melt and then the lights start turning off and on with time. Those LED's are cheapo's. i am sure that manufacture makes the chipset ones that don't have those wires. I would do your homework before buying cheap LED's, just FYI.

[@SwordInc]

Thank you for the info! This was recorded years ago, and these specific ones were deprecated I believe lol

[@Gagemaynard1986]

Would an older car have the same kind of lights? I have a 84 Firebird and Amazon says these fit, I don’t know how trust worthy Amazon is though.

I did this to my car and even though the leds are lighting up the dash isnt at all for some reason

[@udainatt8314]

Landon Haga your gauges probably have a tint to them for example my gauges had a green tint to it so the colour red did not show at all but when I did blue it was showing perfectly

[@SwordInc]

I second this comment. Lol

[@JonYugen]

If you wanna test all bulbs, hold the button that resets the miles while the car is completely off then while you hold it down, turn the key to the on position (not the start position) then wait until it says "test" on the odometer. Once that has happened, let go of the button and you will now be able to switch it to different modes, keep pressing the reset button until you get to the mode that says "bulb test." It should be the 2nd one, can't remember so don't go too fast and skip it by accident.

[@JonYugen]

You're also able to get it to say the speed you're going or the RPM which is pretty cool.

[@SwordInc]

I did not know that. Thank you!

[@JonYugen]

SwordInc Np, there should actually be a video about it.

[@tortugaconqueso]

Does the cluster have a color filter for the indicator lights? I noticed the seatbelt light looks kind of purple, which might be from the blue LED you used going through a red film in the clusters. I'm thinking of just getting white LEDs for them and keep whatever color the cluster has for them

[@SwordInc]

White LEDs will work great if you want to keep the factory color. You could also scrape off the film, if you want to use a different color

[@miguelrodriguez2328]

Great job bro!! Question, do you have a video of how to change the color of the numbers? Mine are green and I would like to make it blue as well, thanks.

[@SwordInc]

I don’t, but you can scrape off the colored filament and it will shine through the color of the LED. You can also use a transparent but opaque paint to diffuse the LED light. At this time, I’m not sure what kind of paint to use. I may look into doing that though

[@gamersdigester]

Hey man i’m going to be doing this to my mazda b2500 and i looked at the link to the t10 lights and on amazon it says they are white yet the ones in the vid are blue, did they stop making blue?

[@McLovinsFunhouse]

I have an 01 Mustang GT, I am aware that the bulb size is T5, but my question is can I just plug and play the bulbs without any problems? Because I see a lot of people talking about “you have to sand out the green film” and others that say “you don’t have to sand out anything”. Any advice?

[@SwordInc]

It depends, do you like the color of the gauges to begin with? If yes, go with a white LED. If No, scrape the film off and get the color LED you want.

I have a 04 GT too. so you did not use the T10s?
